How to do it

  1. 01

    Place two kettlebells between your feet. To get in the starting position, push your butt back and look straight ahead.

  2. 02

    Clean the kettlebells to your shoulders by extending through the legs and hips as you raise the kettlebells towards your shoulders. Rotate your wrists as you do so.

  3. 03

    Lower the kettlebells back to the starting position and repeat.

In the app

Two-Arm Kettlebell Clean appears when you own a kettlebell and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a kettlebell

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
